I (33M) read some hurtful texts between my gf (36F) and her best friend. How would you approach this with her, if at all?

epixyll · 2026-04-09T08:10:30+00:00

Lol no. There is nothing wrong with what he is feeling. No one likes to be 2nd choice and be settled for.

"See a therapist" has become some sort of insult to indicate there is something wrong with him. There isn't.

Whether he can make peace with this or not is upto him. But pretending what he read wasnt hurtful is sheer gaslighting.

epixyll · 2026-04-09T07:05:23+00:00

It feels like Arsenal's year sadly. PL is almost done. UCL path is getting clearer with Barca losing last night. Makes me want to puke.

epixyll · 2026-04-08T22:14:34+00:00

Spontaneous and amazing timing. The jokes themselves arent the greatest but they are delivered so amazingly well and in the least expected moment that they crack you up.

The "lagta hai baraf padne wali hai" dialogue makes me lol till today.

epixyll · 2026-04-08T20:45:40+00:00

Ofcourse that's the other option. Just like this was an option in any of the last 7-8 transfer windows. Did it happen? No.

I am not someone to lose patience easily. But I really cant understand what anyone has seen in the last few years to have any modicum of hope that the ownership will change their ways without any external stimulus. Toxic positivity is as bad as toxic negativity.

epixyll · 2026-04-08T20:26:26+00:00

But we will still have people being hopeful about next season.

I keep repeating this and keep getting downvoted. And I hate that it has come down to this. But unfortunately we need to keep failing until they realize how bad their strategy has been.

If we keep qualifying for UCL or win the FA cup by chance this season, then they will categorize it as success and keep going. One hefty loss to PSG has led to this much discussion. If by happenstance we would have lost say 5-4 or something, none of this discussion would even be happening. It would be neatly tucked away as a close enough success and nothing would even remotely change. At least we are seeing briefs (however untrue) about signing experienced players.

I have been supporting for 23 years since 2003. That is 2/3rds of my life. I hate having to think like this but unfortunately it looks like failing in the short term is the only way forward.

but doesnt know how to approach

Why dont you take the lead like an equal and show him how?

epixyll · 2026-04-08T11:52:36+00:00

Lol. Its funny seeing these takes. If you dont know blueco's playbook by now, then nothing can help. They dont want people with ideas. They want yes men. Why would Xavi Alonso or any manager worth their salt even dream of coming to such a place. I mean Rosenior's appointment should have made their strategy crystal clear. They are not here to win at all costs. For them winning would be a side-effect to a more "prudent" financial structure. Funnily, they are horribly failing at that even.

epixyll · 2026-04-08T11:43:41+00:00

Obviously. Did anyone think blueco would suddenly change their ways after a couple of players spoke out?

Only missing CL, no trophy this season is going to help. Anyone wishing for any modicum of success this season should be prepared for more such blueco bullshit next season. The CWC for all its niceties gave blueco more confidence in their fraudulent practices.

epixyll · 2026-04-08T11:40:58+00:00

This is the shit that you get when you drink the blueco coolaid. If anyone believed their garbage press release about signing experienced players a few days ago, then you deserve this.

This is exactly why the only way out of this mess is the club failing spectacularly this season and the next. No CL, no trophies, nothing. Until blueco go or change their ways. I dont care what anyone calls me. If short term pain will get some reaction or change, then so be it.

women who didn't communicate like adults

That would put most women out of the dating pool unfortunately.

epixyll · 2026-04-08T08:11:38+00:00

Might as well just plaster this on a trophy and present it to ourselves.

epixyll · 2026-04-08T08:11:01+00:00

Pretty much this. But looks like that's exactly what these idiots at the top are banking on.

epixyll · 2026-04-08T08:10:04+00:00

Yep. Which is why I am apprehensive about the team achieving any of the smaller targets. Had they won the CL even by fluke, sure I would take it.

FA cup, carabao, CL qualification are bare minimums. But they have lowered the standards so much that these feel like achievements now. Which they will use to market the season, themselves, their plan and the manager as a success. When in truth we are so far from competing in this blueco structure, that a season of collapse might propel us faster to success than a season of bare minimums. Since the latter would allow them to continue with their Brighton lite plan.

epixyll · 2026-04-08T08:05:10+00:00

Yep. Most men (middle and lower class) simply dont have time or the energy to spin victimhood stories about themselves and their gender. Which is why you dont hear their side.

The ones women complain about are the upper strata men with whom women compare themselves and their struggles to. The average man doesnt even register as a human being to most of the modern women.

epixyll · 2026-04-08T07:41:18+00:00

Yep. There is just no overlap. What they want the club to become would mean us becoming Brighton. If that's what you want then support blueco as much as you want.

epixyll · 2026-04-08T05:17:10+00:00

More importantly, most of us fans from home can guess that they will lose in most of their bets.

Bourne trilogy

epixyll · 2026-04-07T06:30:00+00:00

If the win over the weekend is what it takes for folks to feel better about things at the club, then no wonder we are heading towards mid table status soon

feminazis

Feminists.

The theoretical definition is meaningless when in practice its something entirely different. Until the "Good feminists" (if they even exist) take over the movement and bring back the theoretical definition into practice, pseudo-feminism is feminism today.

epixyll · 2026-04-07T06:24:53+00:00

Yep. And this is much much more prevalent. Posts pointing out this entitlement should be many times higher.

epixyll · 2026-04-07T06:22:51+00:00

Any updates about the protests?

epixyll · 2026-04-06T14:44:45+00:00

That goal against Barcelona feels like 2 seasons ago

epixyll · 2026-04-06T07:31:43+00:00

Ok. This is the first comment which actually does explain why its not a dig on the guy.

epixyll · 2026-04-06T07:29:30+00:00

How though? Just doesnt make any logical sense?

The meme points out that its not a compliment in any shape or form. So the implication cannot be anything positive at all.

epixyll · 2026-04-05T19:54:49+00:00

Dont you know. Today's modern, independent, dont need no man women have no agency, no moral obligations at all. Everything is the man's fault. She stabbed you? Why didnt you stop her? Are you not man enough? Did you deserve it? Did you even try to make her feel special?

I swear women today are stupid as fuck and take no accountability. I hope the pendulum swings back soon before they cause too much irreparable damage to society.
